Hi guys. Hope you are enjoying the story so far.

Again I'm sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes.

I might not be updating as frequently now because I'm revising for exams and I also have an instagram fan account to keep up with, so it's really hard to keep updating. So I apologise in advance for slow updating.

Chapter 10

May's POV

*One week later*

Simmons had ordered Skye to stay in bed for the week. Skye disobeyed this order at least 20 times. She was constantly trying to get out of bed.

I wonder what the excuse is this time. I thought to myself after Simmons told me that Skye was trying to get out of bed, again.

"Please come sort your daughter out May" Simmons said.

Coulson had told the team that I was Skye's mum, so that they knew what was going on. "Like she listens to me" I laughed.

Skye and I had bonded as I kept her company in the med bay. She told me stories about her childhood and I told her about my life in Shield, but I still hadn't told her about her father.

Simmons and I walked towards the med bay. "She can leave the med bay tomorrow, she's all healed, and really the only reason we kept her in this long was so we could monitor her in case she displayed any side effects from the GH 325." Simmons told me. "She's probably even able to get back into the field" she finished.

"Really? That's great. We need more boots on the ground, there are not many agents that Coulson trusts anymore" I said sadly.

As I walked into the med bay I saw Fitz trying (and failing) to stop Skye from getting out of her bed.

When Fitz saw me he let out a sigh of relief. "She's all yours" he said gesturing to Skye as he left.

I put my hands on my waist "Skye" I said in a motherly tone.

Skye looked at me and said simply "I'm so bored in here mum."

Skye had started calling me mum ever since I told her the story of how I lost her as a baby.

"Oh, well I had some good news but if you don't want to hear it…" I trailed off playfully. I started to turn around, knowing that she would call me back.

"Wait mum" she said. A smile flickered onto my face. "What's the news?" she asked curiously.

"Well I'll tell you, if you get back into bed"

Skye huffed but then climbed back into the bed "Fine I'm in the bed, now what's the news?" she said excitedly.

"Well Simmons has said that you can leave the med bay tomorrow and you can probably get back into the field." I said.

I smiled as I saw Skye's face light up. "Really" she squealed. I nodded and she jumped out of bed and threw her arms around me. I chuckled and hugged her back.

"But until tomorrow you have to stay in bed" I told her motioning to the bed. Skye got back into bed and was about to say something, when Fitz appeared at the door. I looked at him.

"Coulson want you in his office May" he told me.

"What for?" I asked not wanting to leave Skye.

Fitz just shrugged "all he said was that it's important" Fitz said.

I sighed "Thank you Fitz" I said and then he left. "I better go" I told Skye. "I'll come back when Coulson's done with me" Skye nodded before I started towards Coulson's office.

When I walked into Coulson's office he was sitting behind his desk, staring into space. "Phil?" I questioned noticing that something was wrong.

"We've found it May" he remarked. When he saw the puzzled look on my face he continued "The alien city, we know where it is" My face turned to a look of horror.

Coulson had begun to write alien symbols and had figured out that it was an alien city. I knew he was looking for it but I didn't think that he'd actually find it.

"Where is it Phil" I asked.

"Puerto Rico, San Juan" Phil replied.

Phil, don't tell me that we are going there" I said.

"May we have to, Hydra has the obelisk, and we have to stop them. If we know where the city is, no doubt Hydra does too." He explained.

I huffed but I knew he was right "Fine. If we're done here I'm going to go see Skye."

Phil looked at me apologetically "That's the other thing"

"No" I interrupted

"Skye's coming too" Phil continued.

"No Phil" I told him.

"May we don't have enough people with Skye, let alone without her. I'm taking everyone we've got" he explained.

"Phil" I cried.

"I'm sorry May, but I've not got a choice" he said.

"Fine but she stays with me at all times" I told him.

"I'll try" Phil replied with a forced smile.

I nodded "when are we leaving?" I asked knowing that I probably wouldn't like the answer.

"Monday" he replied.

"Three days Phil" I remarked "You're giving me three days to train Skye, after she's been shot" I stared at him.

"I'm sorry May, but we can't be taking our time on this. Monday is the latest we can leave; we'd be going today if Skye wasn't in the med bay" he told me sympathetically.

I huffed "I guess I better go tell Skye then" I said.

I told Skye the news and she was overjoyed. "So when can we start training?" she asked.

"Well we only have three days before we have to head to San Juan so Simmons is going to give you one final check-up now, and if it is all clear you can meet me in the training room in two hours" I told her.

She grinned and cheered "Can't wait" she said

"Hopefully I'll see you in two hours then" I said. As I left, Jemma walked in and began her check up on Skye.
